Solution Overview

Problem

Current contact center testing solutions are inflexible, require significant preplanning, lack the ability to test mobile devices, and have limited modification and reporting capabilities, making it difficult to diagnose issues during actual use and monitor ongoing operations effectively.

Innovation Solution

A mobile dashboard system for automated contact center testing, comprising a dashboard server and notification hub, that receives and presents system data, including test case results, and sends notifications to mobile devices, enabling flexible deployment, real-time monitoring, and customizable reporting.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If traditional contact center testing solutions are used, then testing can be performed with established infrastructure, but deployment is inflexible and requires significant preplanning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment flexibilityVSAvoidpreplanning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static, pre-planned testing to dynamic, on-demand testing. The mobile dashboard enables testing to be initiated and configured flexibly at the point of use, allowing the testing infrastructure to adapt dynamically to changing requirements without extensive preplanning

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

A mobile dashboard application serves as an intermediary between users and the testing infrastructure. This intermediary layer abstracts the complexity of the testing system, allowing users to initiate and monitor tests through a simplified mobile interface without needing to understand or plan the underlying infrastructure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional testing solutions are used, then existing systems can be monitored, but mobile devices cannot be tested and reporting capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice testing capabilityVSAvoidreporting capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile dashboard system is designed to test multiple device types universally, including mobile devices, tablets, and traditional contact center systems. The same platform adapts to test different device configurations and contact center infrastructures, providing versatile testing capability across diverse technologies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system adds a mobile dimension to testing by enabling tests to be initiated, monitored, and reported through mobile devices. This creates a new access dimension for testing operations, allowing stakeholders to monitor test results and receive notifications on mobile devices alongside traditional reporting channels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Reliability

If comprehensive monitoring is implemented, then real-time visibility is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification functionality is extracted as a separate, standalone component that can operate independently of the main dashboard server. This extraction allows comprehensive monitoring to be implemented through a simple notification mechanism that delivers alerts to mobile devices without requiring the entire monitoring system to be complex or continuously accessible

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
